Regis Philbin: [Jim is using his Phone-a-Friend Lifeline on the $125,000 question]

[phone rings; Bob answers: "Hello?"]

Regis Philbin: Professor Lamb?

["Yes."]

Regis Philbin: Hi, Regis Philbin calling from New York.

["Hey Regis, listen, I'm in the middle of a dinner here, can I call you back?"]

Regis Philbin: [audience laughter] One of those WISE GUY professors!

Jim Gilligan: He's from the Bronx, Reege.

[Bob: "How'd you know?"]

Regis Philbin: Is he from the Bronx? You're from the Bronx, Bob, huh?

["What, the accent didn't give it away?"]

Regis Philbin: No, not really. Uh, Jim just said so, and Jim's from Queens, so he really needs your help right now.

["Yeah well, he's a typical Mets fan. When he gets into the clutch, he's gotta go to a Yankees fan."]

Regis Philbin: [more audience laughter] Bob, please, we're trying to do a TV show here!

["Okay, sorry."]

Regis Philbin: But I tell ya, he's won $64,000, he's going for $125,000, and you're the guy that can help him.

["Hey, don't put too much pressure on me."]
